By Lin Chia-nan / Staff reporter
The Czech Republic and Slovakia have expressed interest in boosting technological ties with Taiwan, as mutual visits have increased after Czech Senate President Milos Vystrcil led a delegation to visit Taiwan in August last year.
The Czech Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei yesterday posted a photograph on Facebook from a meeting between Marie Leflerova, head of the office’s science and technological section, and Franz Cheng (陳明智), director of the National Applied Research Laboratories’ (NARL) International Affairs Office.
“He [Cheng] was very interested in the excellent research infrastructures in the [Czech Republic] and was thrilled by the considerable interest in cooperation from the institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences and universities,” the Czech office wrote on Facebook.
